CDROM, other drives

+
The built-in cdrom drive is a dvd/cd-rw combo drive (QSI DVD/CDRW SBW-161). After the installation from scratch, there is no ide-scsi configured, so the cdrom can be accedded as /dev/hdc. Using the "ide-scsi=/dev/hdc" lilo kernel parameter (add it to the append="..." line of /etc/lilo.conf) and the ide-scsi Kernel module, the cd burner can be accessed as /dev/sg0.

As I don't have a dvd disk, I have never tested the dvd capabilities of the drive.

The one PCMCIA slot has a Ricoh CardBus bridge. It worked out of the box with Debian's settings. I use netenv, and as soon as I insert a PCMCIA card, the network is started using the PCMCIA scripts and the settings from netenv.
